500 BC. A Persian fleet sets sail toward a quiet island in the Aegean. What followed changed the future of Greece and the balance of power across the ancient Mediterranean.

This book presents the gripping, factual account of the Persian attempt to subdue Naxos-and how its failure lit the flame of the Ionian Revolt. Based on respected primary sources and the latest historical scholarship, it follows Darius I's military gamble, the ambitions of Aristagoras of Miletus, and the fierce resistance of a small Greek island that refused to fall. With detailed analysis, this work shows how a regional campaign turned into a decade-long war and set the stage for the first Persian invasion of the Greek mainland, ending at Marathon in 490 BC.

Military historians, students of ancient strategy, and readers fascinated by the clash between empire and autonomy will find this book both informative and compelling. Every chapter offers fresh insights, built on a foundation of academic research and written with clarity for a wide audience.

Backed by credible historical sources and written with academic care, this is the most complete account of the Persian-Naxian war available today.
